Flexible Shaft Tool

A flexible shaft tool accommodates a variety of burs and bits, and is used to polish, sand, grind, and shape metal.
Flexible shaft tools are primarily used for setting stones, and are very convenient because hand pieces can be swapped out
quickly.

Drill Press

A drill press enables the jeweler more control when drilling holes in metal, glass, or ceramic, resulting in precise work.
The drill press table holds the work securely, so the jeweler can drill holes for parts that need pins, screws, or rivets.
Several different types of bits can be attached to the drill press, depending upon the size and type of hole needed.

Benchtop Grinder

Benchtop grinders are ideal for larger projects that are not suitable for hand tools. They are able to take off large amounts of
metal at a time, and work well with hard metals. Benchtop grinders come in two styles: full high-speed style, and
adjustable speed dial.

Buffing Cabinet/Polishing Lathe

This piece of equipment polishes and buffs metal, while also collecting and filtering the dust and other hazardous
materials that result from the buffing and polishing process. Buffing cabinets come with one or two shafts, and can also
be outfitted with wood sanding mandrels, ring buffing mandrels, abrasive sleeves, and laps.

Rolling Mill

A rolling mill flattens sheet metal, by increasing pressure and creating force that stretches the metal, each time it is
rolled through the mill. Rolling mills can also be used to reduce wire and ring stock, and to add textures and patterns to
metal.

Shear

A shear cuts thick pieces of metal precisely, in situations where a jeweler's saw won't work. A shear can also be used to
make square edges on larger pieces, and typically features a tool that enables the jeweler to bend metal at an angle.
